Relax This weekend we had the first heatwave of the year in Greece (and still going strong). The instinctive thought is to hit the beach but a) water is too cold for me b) Im not risking a heatstroke (been there done that). So I stayed indoors had some ice cream and lots of water! Whats your heatwave strategy?? P.S. photo was taken during last year @openhouseathens at @athens_4 boutique hotel. Greece Islands, Thessaloniki, Stuff To Do, Greek, Relax, Indoor, Forts, Byzantine

Plaka Athens Last year this time I took a lot of long strolls in Plaka and Athens city center. Those walks are what I miss the most right now. I do take walks in my neighborhood (and usually share wisteria stories) but its not the same. Looking forward to walk in my city once more.

Χρόνια Πολλά/ Happy Easter I had a different photo to post but Im so proud at my homemade tsoureki (traditional Easter brioche) that I had to share this minimalistic flat lay. This particular one is filled with chocolate ganache and walnuts. I had some minor issues with the recipe but it turned out delicious!! ___ Είχα κατά νου να συνεχίσω τις φωτογραφίες από περσινές βόλτες αλλά είμαι τόσο περήφανη για το τσουρέκι μου!!

When I lived in downtown Athens I used to pass from Asomaton street everyday with the bus. In 2017 this yellow building popped up as it was under construction. It houses the Special Vocational Gymnasium and High School of Athens. Its such a beautiful building to look at. And so vibrant! ____ Όταν εμένα στο κέντρο της Αθήνας περνούσα από την οδό Ασώματων καθημερινά με το λεωφορείο. Το 2017 αποκαλύφθηκε το συγκεκριμένο κτίριο που βρισκόταν υπό κατασκευή/ αναστήλωση.

Keeping up with my architecture posts... As much as I love neoclassical and eclectic buildings in Athens Im very excited when I come across contemporary buildings (both public and private ones). Theres something about those clean lines that I draws me in. How about you? ____ Και συνεχίζουμε με τις αρχιτεκτονικές φωτογραφίες... Όσο κι αν μου αρέσουν τα κτίρια σε νεοκλασικό και εκλεκτιστικό ρυθμό ενθουσιάζομαι με σύγχρονα κτίρια. Έχω καταλήξει ότι μου αρέσουν πολύ οι καθαρές γραμμές.

A new French brasserie opened a few months ago in Athens. I visited @lorrainebrasserie last month and liked it overall. The interior was somewhat dark for me (despite the mirrors that reflect the light). The food though... I LOVED it. Its more expensive than the places I usually dine at but its worth it.

One of my favorite roof gardens in Athens: @thezillersathens. It is located on Mitropoleos square opposite the Athens Cathedral. I like it because its small so it doesnt get overcrowded. My office is really close so its a good spot for after work coffee or drinks! Outdoor Furniture Sets, Outdoor Decor, Roof Gardens, Cathedral, Coffee

Benaki Museum of Greek culture is housed in a beautiful neoclassical building in Vassilisis Sofias Avenue. The museum houses exhibits from Greece from the antiquity all the way to the 20th century. The highlight of the collection is the neo-Hellenic secular art. It covers the period from the fall of the Byzantine Empire in 1453 to the end of the 19th century. If youre interested in Greek history post Byzantium this is the place to visit. Benaki Museum, Greek History, Greek Culture, Neoclassical, Highlight, 19th Century
